The culture clash here between "goddamn hipster freaks" and people of the woods is more complicated here, and the way it unfolds is brutal and shocking without being depraved itself. Read full review

Wrong Turn delivers a handful of timely twists and coats the franchise with a new, and vastly more interesting, sheen. It stumbles at times to balance all the themes it's trying to handle with regards to societal ills, individual value, and self-determinism but the end result is still a warped ride that could set up more thrills to come.

Although its many complications quickly devolve into absurdity, Wrong Turn does deserve some credit for the boldness with which it deviates from its franchise inspiration. This is no paint-by-numbers remake. And although it’s just got way too much going on, the gore is gnarly, the paranoia is palpable, and the characters, while sometimes annoying, have motivations and arcs that make sense.

The film does an outstanding job elevating its horror with a sprinkling of disconcertment, but it takes a wrong turn by offering a muddled message. Read full review

Wrong Turn has some decent booby-trap business but can’t find enough that is different to enliven the weary concept. But for the horror hardcore, keep watching once the credits roll. Read full review

I didn’t hate it, but didn’t get much out of it and found it boring. Still, fans of kidnapping, impaling, hot-poker-in-the-eye cinema may take to it as their cinematic happy place. Read full review

Un reboot MUY DIFERENTE con respecto al material original, pero que a mi parecer supera por lejos a las 6 películas anteriores de la saga, todo sin necesidad de gore extremo ni caníbales deformes, en lo personal me ha encantado en todos los aspectos posibles.

This isn't Wrong Turn. It's an entirely different film under the name "Wrong Turn".

I compare it more to something like Halloween 3, which has nothing to do with Michael Myers yet still has Halloween in the title. It pretty much threw everything that made the series away for something entirely different.

This movie has a lot of half-baked ideas that aren't ever fully fleshed out. The characters are typecast and, outside of the father, none of them stands out. This film also heavily relies on stereotypes that are so freaking cliche, I rolled my eyes countless times during the first 1/4 of this film because of it.

Honestly, Don't bother. If you are a genuine fan of the franchise, You'll be nothing but disappointed with this one.… Expand

This is one mess of a political crapshoot right from the start. I refuse to watch some woke crap that is being FORCED down my throat. And for that, this film, which probably sucks anyway from looking at the other scores, can rot.

Maybe next time the director should actually focus on good actors and a good movie instead of trying to conform to the liberal, progressive, woke, idiotic culture that we now live in, which consists of mostly bad talent like what we have in this Wrong Turn reboot. What a complete joke that Michael Everich loves and supports. Can't believe these people really hate being white so much.… Expand
